From iOS 11 onwards Apple devices do not provide you with the correct MAC address of any physical device. Further in iOS 14 Apple devices do not expose their real MAC but generate a random MAC address, this ensures improved privacy of users.

@sachinELEVEN is this documented anywhere? as i have to provide this link to the client.

I don’t think this issue is mentioned anywhere on Apple’s documentation but there are plenty of articles mentioning this, eg https://networktoolbox.de/networktoolbox-ios-11/


I think you can still get the MAC of the devices if you run your app on simulator, but it will not work on actual iOS device.
